April 3, 2025 draw in Newfoundland and Labrador: 256 invitations issued via the new Declaration of Interest system

April 3, 2025, the province of Newfoundland and Labrador a issued 256 Invitations to Apply (ITA) as part of its economic programs. These include first major draw since the launch of new Expression of Interest (EOI) model announced by the Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism on February 19, 2025. This reform marks a major shift in the management of economic applications to this Atlantic province.

A modernized system with Immigration Accelerator

This new process requires all applicants to submit an Expression of Interest on the Immigration Accelerator platform, the first essential step in accessing an ITA. Here are the specifics:

  • Overseas applicants must have an invitation code issued by their potential employer in the province to be selected.
  • Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP) applicants with valid temporary status in Canada are exempt from this requirement.
  • An EOI is valid for 12 months and can be selected at any time during this period.
  • Once an IPD has been received, candidates or their employers have 60 days to submit their complete application to the province, with all the documents required to hope to be among those to receive a provincial nomination once eligibility for provincial programs has been verified.
